for final review, then posted for anyone who is interested...

this thing is a monster excel spread sheet, shaping it to get it into the best looking and most accessible format

~ 90 shows, started this July 2014 thereabouts...

believe it or not, it takes a really long time to give the required attention to actually listen to complete shows and re-listen and compare an entire year of dead music

doing another year again will not be happening, it can be downright tedious, instead I will perhaps do a month or a tour

at least it was a really good year...can't imagine wading through '84, where even the 20 shows I saw were fairly uneven, only a couple would be considered great and none would be on my time machine revisit list - where as several '81s are on that list. 9/12, 12/31 to begin with.

4/27/84 is about the only '84 I look back on with real fondness.

"believe it or not, it takes a really long time to give the required attention to actually listen to complete shows and re-listen and compare an entire year of dead music"

I feel you. I marathoned the whole debut thing, got to where the syringe needle graphics turned into landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes...and all I was doin was listening.

can't wait to feast.

I am impressed. How long did it take? Any new songs or surprises? I liked the idea of a song or two I like or don't hear often, Clementine, Mission in the Rain but all props for doing the marathon. Have you listened to the covers project?

I'm interested. I've always loved 81, especially winter and spring tour.

I'm interested . I have found Mando's 84 study useful .
In listening I find that If I do a tour from one year, then a tour from another , the tedious aspect is lessened .
